parsing data in Mac Numbers

How do I parse data in Mac Numbers? For example, I have a column with a first name and last name that I need to parse into two separate columns.

Please and thank you.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.1

Hi a'


It is certainly an answer, and an efficient and working solution.


Two things I would change:


Where she inserts a column, using right click and a menu choice, I would:


Click on any cell in column A. Press option-right arrow to insert a new column to the right of column A.



When pasting the separated names back into the Numbers table:


Click once on the first cell to receive the pasted names. Press command-V to Paste.


Regards,

Barry
